Endicott's EIunder.
The fact that every one concerned wishes
to let the confederate flag episode drop out
OF sight as soon as possible, will probably
prevent the retirement from Office Of either
secretary Endlcott or Gen. Drum on account
OF it, but the President is undoubtedly i'm
own secretary Of war. He has on several
occasions been on the eve of committing
plumbers at the instance of Mr.. Endicott
nearly as serious as the one he has just been
led INTO, but has saved himcelf by carefully
investigating matters for himself and then
disTegarding Mr.. Endicott's suggestions.
mat Gen. Drum is practically secretary of
war has long been recognized fact at the

would be without meat or fish, and would
consist of tea, toast, eggs, fruit and some

would be selected as carefully for the
breakfast as the wine would be for the
dinner He would brew it himself with
great care. He took the tea from the tea
caddy himself, placed it dry in cup,
which had previously been heated by fiIl-

teaspoon, which stood in the cup when
the boiling water was poured, remained
in the cup; then boiling water was drawn
from the urn on to the tea; saucer was
inverted over the top, and after 1t had

Hog Guessing on Long Island.
The season is rapidly approaching when
harvest homes will be superseded by hog
guessing, the favorite amusement of Long
Islanders. The manner Of proceeding is
as follows:
Handbills are printed announcing the
time and place Of the proceedings. Tho
-. - me me aud assumed weight OF the hogs, to-
gether with the cost of the tickets, are also
advertised. Each person registers his es-
innate of the weight upon the ticket he
fore surrendering it. Then a hog whose
name and assumed weight has been adj
vertised is killed and dressed. The per-
son who guesses the exact weight of tho
slaughtered animal takes him, or the
guess nearest the correct figure entities
the guesser to the meat. 'Reckoning''
or 'allowing'' is not permitted. Par
ticipants, however, can guess as many
times as they are willing and able to pay
for the privilege Some of the swine
slaughtered are of enormous dimensions
and tip the scales anywhere from 400 to
600 pounds.
Various articles are resorted to by
which the weight of the animals is ascer~
tanned or approximated beforehand. FIRE.
quently measurements are taken upon
which guesses are based, and sometimes
the actual weight is ascertained at night.

Simple Desserts.

Many housckcepers look upon all
dessert in the light of luxuries; Others
draw the line at dishes that call for
eggs. Now, some dessert dish, if prop
erly made, should form a part of every
dinner if fruit is not to be served.
Even with fruit, some people require
sugar. When no dessert is provided,
greater quantity of meat and vegetables
must be eaten TO satisfy the demands of
nature. For some this is III right, but
for the majority of folk certain
amount of sugar and starch is necessary.
Children should not be deprived of this
kind of food. Even for the poor it is
economical to provide simple dessert
In arranging for dinner, plan
light dessert when the rest of the meal
is to be substantial. On the other hand"
when the main part of the dinner is to
be light let the dessert be hot and sub
stantial. For example. if the first part
of the meal consists of cold meat and
vegetables, or hash and one vegeta-
BILE, serve hot apple pudding for des-
sert. A good one can be made of a
pint of flour, prepared rs for cream-of-
tartar biscuit, rolled thin and filled with
pared and quartered apples, then steam
ed for two hours, and served with mo-
lasses or sugar sauce. Or, the apples
may be put into a stewpan with little.
water and sugar, or little molasses.
stewed for few minutes, covered with
the biscuit dough, and cooked for about
twenty minutes longer. No sauce will
be needed with this pudding. Nothing
could be cheaper, and it will be very
palatable and wholesome.
Apples may be added to boiled sago
or tapioca, with pleasing result Soak
cupful of either tapioca or sage in
three cupfuls of cold water over night;
then cook it in a double boiler for half
an hour. Add to the contents of the
boiler one cupful of sugar, half tea
spoonful of salt, and two quarts of
pared and quartered apples. Bake in
pudding dish for an hour and quarter.
= Cool slightly, and serve with or without
sugar and cream of milk. These pud-
dings are so simple that they will not
hurt even an invalid. Maria PGrLoa,

stonewaii jackson and the Cadets.

Nv Introduction TO him, when l was
s cadet and fourth-class man, was fol-
lows: In September Maj. Jackson re-
turned from his summer leave of alb
sence, MAS at his post preparing the
second class for It's course in applied
mechanics was. in cadet parlance, 4
pIebe, had been in school about month.
and heard from the old cadets wonderful
stories OF Maj. Jackson's strictness in
adhering 10 discipline. One day, about
10 a. NJ, as was going to my quarters
from the classroom, was hailed by an
officer, as l supposed, and called into
room on the second stoop Of the bar
racks. There l found several cadets,
dressed in blue coats, with swords and
sashes. The one who had hailed me
said rather sharply to : secretary, who
was seated by table and busily writ
ing: "Make out that requisltion and
send it by this plebe to the quarter-mas-
ter. and you, fellow, take it to that
Office" pointing to room. Get the
officer there to sign it, and then 60 up
town and bring what it calls for. Be
quick about it. | must have it here be-
fore dinner roll-call." l touched my
cap. rs l had been taught when l spoke
or was spoken to by an officer, and
walked briskly to the door of the room
that had been designated. l knocked,
a cadet opened the door. and asked
what wanted. l informed him that
had paper for the officer in there. He
took in the situation, and allowed me
to enter. Walked up to the officer,
who was seated on 4 rostrum, looking
at a book before him. Before he had
time to raise his eyes, had doffed my
cap and was presenting my requisition
in as polite manner as 1 could as
sumo He took the paper, gave it q
hasty glance, and, without changing
countenance, pointed TO bench near
him and ordered me to wait until he
dismissed the class. The cadets who
were not at the blackboards gave me
significant looks, and with difficulty
concealed their merriment
Twas wocfully uncomfortable, but
kept my seat until the recitation was
concluded and class dismissed. The
officer or instructor then addressed me
with kind, pleasant smile on his face:
"Do you know what this paper con-
tainsp" Ihad risen from the seat oc-
cupied and stood before him, cap in
hand. In reply to his question l told
him how it came into my possession,
and what 1 was ordered to do with it
That did not know one-half the officers,
and as the gentleman who gave me the
order wore blue coat, sash and sword
l supposed he had authority. He said
he did not censure me at all; that the
cadets were in the habit of quiZzing the
newcomers, and someone was playing
a joke on me. The order 1 brought was
a bogus requisition for half-heeled
socks, picked crow bars, and box of
Spex' best cigars. had not dared to
open the order, and when advised OF
its absurd nature my embarrassment
was painful He observed this, and to
relieve me he asked me how long had
been at the institute, from what part OF
the state l hailed, etc. His manner be-
fore the class was stern, he sat erect
with his coat buttoned to the chin, but
now he was Kind and pleasant, and ]
shall never forget my first encounter
with Stonewall Observation-Disclosures.

. How to Warm Rooms.

Frequently the chilly feeling that one
experiences from tho windowward side
as one sits in room is caused, not by a
current OF cold air setting from the
window to the fire, but by the GOODNESS
of the window itself. For this latter.
being kept at low temperature by con-
tact with the open air, draws the heat
from the body, or rather the heat radi-
ates from the body to the window, the
temperature of the air in between max
ing no difference whatever to the trans
ference, in accordance with we'll
known property of radiant heat
For instance, the air in room may
be quite hot, and yet large window,
however air-tight, will make itself un-
pleasantly felt on cold day, just as on
board ship the propinquity of an fec
berg is announced by 4 lowering of tenn
perature. A screen interposed between
the window and any one exposed to its
malign influence will often afford relief,
and one reason why rooms so frequent
ly feel more comfortable in the evening
is that the cold glass is efectually shut
off behind thc closely drawn-curtains.
In countries where the SHOWS are
habitually severe the advent of frost is
usually the signal for the fixing up of
inner windows, the laver of air between
these and the outer ones forming an eX-
cellent barrier to the escape of heat,
owing to its low conductive power.
Cold walls also induce sense of chilli
ness, but if they are properly built there
should be no difficulty in keeping them
warm upon the inside.
The experiment has sometimes been
tried of warming rooms by means of hot
air only. but the result. has never been
good; and for this reason-that, in Or
der to warm the walls to the requisite
degree, the air must be far hotter than
is healthy or agreeable for breathing.
In fact the principle is wrong; the air
should not warm the walls, but the
walls warm the air.
An open fire acts in this latter way.
Tie rays of heat pass through the air
without, heating. it, and produce no effect
till they impinge on the walls, furniture
and carpet of the room These, being
thus gently warmed, communicate
their healthy contact with the air about
them, and in this way. while the objects
in the room are raised to a sufficient
temperature, the air is not rendered un-
pleasant by being over-heated.
. I'VE see, then, that our favorte open
fires have much to recommend them.
whatever may be said about their waste
fulness; and as regards health and COM
fort they are much better than close
stoves, which, though they radiate their
warmth, =also hedt the air in contact
with them, and are apt to do so to ex-
cess. sf
